Northbridge truly represents America’s story with an active agricultural landscape still producing vegetables, fruits and dairy products, yet it is a town filled with mills and mill villages directly connecting it to America’s journey towards industrialization. With both the Blackstone and Mumford Rivers flowing through this very diverse landscape of mills, farms and open space, there are great recreational opportunities here. The wide range of trails running through the Blackstone River & Canal Heritage State Park meet the recreational needs of folks from all walks of life and there are also many canoeing and kayaking opportunities on the river.
